As humans, we are often told to listen to our hearts.
We are told to pay attention to our "inner voice" and that its words should reign supreme over all else.
There is an actual movement surrounding a greater effort to pay attention to our feelings, and while this is something that I would ordinarily get behind (and, in ...

Hello! Here I am! I could write about the last couple of weeks, and how much has happened, and everything about the book the book the book, but I think that we could all use a break from the book the book the book.
And I have a promise on which to make good.
On New Year's Eve I ...

Hello! Happy Wednesday! If you are anywhere near me, right now, I hope that you are staying warm.
If you are not, and blissfuly far away, I envy you. But, you deserve it. Because you're the best.
I am writing to give thanks. To give thanks to you.
I wrote last week when the book was officially released and since ...

Happy Birthday, Book!
Today is the day!
After years of writing,
months of teasing,
weeks of sharing photos and videos of reviews, copies and clips...
today, "Beyond the Baby Blues: Anxiety and Depression During and After Pregnancy" is out!
I am so overwhelmed by this -- we wrote a book!
If you do get a chance to read Beyond the Baby Blues, ...

Ok. This is a biggie. Not in the way that some other posts are biggies,
but in a different (and maybe even biggie-er) way.

I am really fascinated by the concept of ...

So, a girl walked into a bar...

I just had a first.
For the first time since I started this blog, which was approximately 2,745 days ago, I stopped, mid-post, and said, to myself,
"What are you doing? Why are you writing about this? This is not giving you ...

I cannot start this post without acknowledging two important things:
1. I have a LOT about which to write. I have formulated at least a dozen posts in my head over the holiday weekend (about gratitude, parenting my daughter v. my son, Thanksgiving and what it means to me...) but, for now, this is what is flying ...

Dear World,
Today is Election Day.
(Go vote! Even if your kids are off of school, I urge you to vote! However, NOT THE POINT OF THIS POST!)
I am writing to tell you that, before noon today, I earned a varsity letter on my mom jacket.
Let's start at the beginning:
This morning, I woke up before 7, which is unusual for ...

It started with the covers.
This morning, from 7:00am - 7:25am, I had the privilege of sharing my side of the bed with a tall, red-headed child who will turn four in exactly one week. My husband had left early for the day, my daughter had already made her way downstairs, and so it was just ...
